AI Analysis
●●SolidWizardryNiche Gem
Doom runs, but hobby OSes are a well-trodden path since TempleOS.
Strengths
- •Real kernel work: IPC caching, shared memory, and unit tests for core functionality.
- •Hardware compatibility fixes for uninitialized VFS variables and PS/2 mouse quirks.
- •Working window protocol with resize, drawing, and input event handling.
Weaknesses
- •Admitted stability issues with window glitches and intermittent desktop crashes.
- •Hobby OS category is crowded; no clear differentiation from SerenityOS or others.
